Abstract in another language

Nobel prize-winning CRISPR/Cas gene editing technology will strengthen plant breeding in terms of efficiency and precision. The technology is based on precise site-directed alterations in plant genomes with the possibility of off-target changes greatly reduced compared to the conventionally used randomly induced mutagenesis. In the EU, the Court of Justice of the European Union adopted the reasoning that organisms obtained by novel mutagenesis techniques share a comparable risk profile as those obtained by transgenesis. Hence, EU GMO law applies to the same extent. However, it has not yet been clarified by binding legal interpretation if the EU GMO law applies to all products of new genomic techniques (NGTs), such as gene editing. Here we describe in detail the GMO regulatory system in the EU, as well as the recent developments regarding different NGT. Finally, we examine the potential solutions for the regulatory conundrum and potential impact of EU regulation on commercial development of gene-edited organisms in the EU.
